Pakistan cricket team
Pakistan’s team is set to visit New Zealand after a disappointing performance in the Champions Trophy 2025. Pakistan’s team will play a 5 -match T20I series in New Zealand’s house from 16 March. After this, a three -match ODI series will be played. Pakistan’s batting coach Mohammad Yusuf decided to withdraw from this tour but now he has changed his mind and has decided to go to New Zealand with the team. Mohammad Yusuf was not going to go to New Zealand earlier due to his daughter’s illness but then he changed his decision.
Let me tell you, former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yusuf was appointed batting coach for the tour of New Zealand. Meanwhile, a PCB official said that the condition of Mohammad Yusuf’s daughter is now fine and he is now going on a tour of New Zealand with the Pakistan team. The Pakistan team will leave for New Zealand on March 12. Mohammad Yusuf will be seen helping interim head coach Aqib Javed and Assistant Coach Azhar Mahmood in the coaching staff of the team. For the T20I series, Pakistan has appointed Salman Ali Aga as the captain of the team while in the ODI series, Mohammad Rizwan will command the team.
